First Line: Mutely the mole toils on

Alternate Author Name(s): Ramal, Walter; De La Mare, Walter
Mutely the mole toils on;
The worm in silk cocoon
Stealthy as spider spins,
As glides the moon.
But listen where envy peers 'neath the half-closed lid;
Where peeping vanity lurks; where pride lies hid;
And peace beyond telling share with the light-stilled eye,
When naught but an image of the loved one's nigh.
